The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 60 Getting rich suddenly
What is the concept of ten thousand taels of silver? For Wu Chengyu at this moment, it is no less than a fortune. When he thinks about himself who was limping and begging everywhere a few months ago, Wu Chengyu actually has an extremely unreal feeling.

The question was, how could his parents have left him so much money? Just based on the thirty taels of silver the Wu family gave him every quarter? Or Wu Zhengkang's salary as a head escort at the escort agency? Even if Wu Zhengkang embezzled family funds, he couldn't have come up with so much silver.

He checked the banknotes again and looked through them carefully. He actually found a small word "Mu" written on the lower left corner of the back of each banknote. So these banknotes actually belonged to his mother Mu Qingyin?
My previous incarnation only had memories of my mother until I was five years old. All I remembered was her kindness and gentleness, and I only had a vague understanding of her family background.

I recall that when I was a child, I heard Wu Zhenghui and other uncles making fun of Wu Zhengkang, saying that he was stupid, big and rough, but he married a rich girl, making others envious.

As far as I can remember, except for my mother's aunt who married into the Feng family and had a cousin named Feng Heng, all the other relatives are gone.

So the only possibility is that my mother married into the Wu family with all her belongings, and all this money was her dowry. My goodness, how could I, as her father, have such good deeds?

It seems that his mother's family was somewhat unusual, but neither Mu Qingyin nor Feng Heng mentioned it.

All the previous details had long been lost with the passing of his parents, and everything was just speculation, but the banknotes in front of him were real, and would belong to Wu Chengyu in the future. Thinking of this, Wu Chengyu suddenly felt dry in the mouth.

He put down the banknotes and picked up other wooden boxes. One of the large wooden boxes was filled with Mu Qingyin's jewelry, including hairpins, hairpins, Huasheng step-shakes, earrings, jade beads, and necklaces. Except for a few jade bracelets, the rest were made of gold, with exquisite shapes, and completely unlike those owned by ordinary people.

Fang Xiu was touching a white jade bracelet. In his previous life, he had given his leader one as a gift when his leader married his daughter. It cost tens of thousands of yuan, and he was so heartbroken that he couldn't sleep at the time. However, in terms of crystal texture, it was far inferior to the one in his hand. There were three pairs of such jade bracelets in the wooden box.

Wu Chengyu estimated that these jewelries alone would cost at least several thousand taels of silver, and that was without considering the workmanship of the jewelries.

Of course, Wu Chengyu would definitely use the banknotes, and the jewelry were all a commemoration of his mother Mu Qingyin. He would never sell them, and maybe leave them to one of his wives in the future.

The remaining wooden boxes contained the books left by Mu Qingyin, all of which were poems and songs, which were all hand-picked by Mu Qingyin herself, all in small calligraphy with hairpin flowers.

Wu Chengyu casually flipped through the books and found nothing unusual. They were just some girls practicing calligraphy and copying books. Of course, these were also memories left by her mother.

Wu Chengyu let out a sigh of relief. Although his original self had lost both parents, his family was wealthy and harmonious, and he had so much inheritance. He could have lived a rich and comfortable life, but he died as soon as he left Peach Blossom Island. In the original novel, he only left a name. If he had not traveled through time and space, his death would have been too unfair.

Most of the things in the wooden box had been packed up, leaving only a small box the size of a palm. After Wu Chengyu opened it, he found a jade plaque inside, three inches long and two inches wide, also made of mutton-fat white jade.

On one side is carved the word "Mu", and next to it is a deer. It is not the common sika deer, but a red deer with two long horns standing tall on its head like tree branches.

The other side was covered with rows of spots, which felt slightly bumpy when touched with fingers. However, with Wu Chengyu's extraordinary vision, these spots were clearly numbers carved with micro-carving techniques. They were not Arabic numerals, but traditional Chinese numbers similar to 壹贰叁肆.

The numbers are combined in pairs, one-nine, thirty-five, eighty-six, twenty-seven, with no pattern at all. It is a bit like some kind of code. There are hundreds of such number combinations on a small jade plate. Others cannot distinguish them at all.

Wu Chengyu knew that this jade token must represent something, but Mu Qingyin did not leave any words. If it was really a code, it would be extremely difficult to decipher without the code book. Wu Chengyu also had no intention of exploring the secrets that Mu Qingyin might have left behind. Everything was gone with this person.

Wu Chengyu stared blankly at the things in front of him, and came to his senses after a while. He put the silver bills away separately, put the rest of the relics back into the wooden box, and then solemnly placed it in the secret compartment under his bed in his bedroom.

Now he no longer has to worry about the cost of cultivation. With 12,000 taels of silver as cultivation resources, if he still can't make any progress, he might as well give up early and become an ordinary citizen in this martial arts world.

However, some things had to be decided. Wu Zhengliang had collected all of his parents' belongings, so it was impossible for him not to see these banknotes and gold jewelry. Compared to a large family, they might not be much, but for an individual, they were a huge sum.

Wu Chengyu returned home five years after leaving. Wu Zhengliang was inspecting properties in Gusu City at the time, but as soon as he came back, he returned all the properties to Wu Chengyu without hesitation. You must know that Wu Chengyu had no trace of silver bills and jewelry in his memory, and if Wu Zhengliang hadn't told him, he would have no idea.

So even if he only left Wu Chengyu a few hundred taels of silver, he would not have any suspicions, but would be extremely grateful instead.

Wu Zhengliang was not tempted by the huge amount of wealth and kept his promise to guard these things for Wu Chengyu. He has the demeanor of an ancient gentleman.

Wu Chengyu didn't know if he could have such integrity. After all, he didn't have the opportunity to experience such a test in his previous life, but this did not hinder his respect for Wu Zhengliang.

In addition, Wu Zhengliang's current situation and the decline of the third branch were ultimately due to the encirclement and suppression in order to avenge the Wu family's children. Even if it was not just for Wu Zhengkang, as the current Wu Chengyu, who inherited everything, Wu Chengyu must acknowledge this favor.

Wu Zhengliang's biggest problem now is his disabled legs. The master's two palms shattered his leg bones. Even with timely treatment, he will never be able to stand up again.

Lifelong disability and the tragic death of his brother, with whom he grew up, left Wu Zhengliang disheartened and unable to recover. Although he still worked hard for his family over the years, he was no longer as smart and capable as he used to be.

The decline of the third branch was also because it was difficult for him, the leader, to do anything.

Wu Chengyu may not be able to help with anything else now, but he has a holy medicine for bone injuries: Black Jade Fracture Ointment.

Only by taking this medicine can Wu Zhengliang and the other two uncles recover. I can't guarantee anything else, but at least they can function normally. With the revitalized Wu Zhengliang continuing to lead the third branch, the situation of the third branch will get better, instead of waiting silently for the next generation to grow up.

When the big river is full, the small rivers will be full too; it is nice to take shelter under a big tree; only when the third branch becomes strong again can Wu Chengyu live a better life.

But it was not enough to just cure Wu Zhengliang and the other two. After seeing the huge inheritance, Wu Chengyu decided to contribute the formula of the Black Jade Ointment to the third house.

If he didn't have the support of his family, Wu Chengyu could easily have built up a reputation as a bone injury expert by using the Black Jade Fracture Ointment, and could have easily made a living.

But what Wu Chengyu has now, the Black Jade Fracture Ointment, is not that important. It can only treat bone injuries. No matter how miraculous the effect is, it is just a prescription.

However, when this miraculous medicine fell into the hands of the family, its effect far exceeded that of Wu Chengyu alone.

Give me a wooden peach, and I will repay you with a jade. I will never let you down and will repay your debts, just like Wu Chengyu risked his life to save A Ku.

Today I will find time to revise the previous part, which is the Bai Xianer segment that everyone has been criticizing. In fact, it’s not that I don’t want to change it, but I haven’t figured out how to change it. Now I have a rough plan, but I can’t guarantee that everyone will approve of it, but some psychological descriptions will be deleted.

The only problem is that I am afraid that if the changes are too big, I will be warned or blocked. I will let you know the final result.
